As the title of the recipe implies, this fruit salad with ice cream is a mix of various fruits and nuts served with ice cream.
Fruit salad with ice cream is one of the dishes that is featured in the desserts section in the menu of many North Indian restaurants.
I make a simple fruit salad with ice cream and some chopped nuts. I do not add any sugar syrup in this recipe. The fruits are already sweet, so there is absolutely no need of increasing the sugar content by adding sugar solution or honey or any sweetener.
I have used seasonal fruits like sapota (chikoo), mangoes, dragon fruit, strawberries and banana. You can add a mix of various fruits which you like, but you have to consider some points mentioned below.
In this recipe, you make the salad first and then serve it with ice cream as a summer dessert. I prefer to make this salad with homemade Ice Cream. You can even make custard or jelly and serve these with the fruit salad and ice cream. You can add any ice cream recipes of your choice like:
